Super convenient! The hotel is right outside Sakuragicho Station, so you barely have to walk at all with your luggage. The location is amazing, and it’s just a few minutes to the Red Brick Warehouse or the Minato Mirai area. Perfect for a walk.

Some of the handicrafts are insanely overpriced, but the quality isn’t really any better than what you’d find at a night market.

The color scheme inside the English-style building is so pretty! Makes me really want to have afternoon tea there!

It's easy to get here by subway, so transportation isn't a hassle. Hokkaido Shrine is right next to the park, so after visiting the shrine, you can take some nice photos in the park.

Ordered pizza and pancakes for a lovely afternoon tea. The guests here seem really classy, and the whole dining environment just feels super comfortable.

Kyushu Railway History Museum

Located in the Mojiko Retro District, this railroad museum is housed in a Meiji-era red brick building that was the former headquarters of Kyushu Railway Company. The museum exhibits old rolling stock, uniforms of past station staff, and railroad equipment, and is fun not only for railroad fans but also for the whole family.

Great place to bring kids. There are lots of vintage trains, but since we don't have these in Taiwan, I didn't feel much of a connection.

The natural coastline views are really nice, and the trail is well maintained and safe. It's a bit of a shame I didn't have enough time to take the sightseeing boat.
